Sharon: The battle continues

May 7 — Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon vowed Tuesday to continue fighting terrorists until they cease to exist, after learning of a suicide bombing in Tel Aviv that killed at least 16 people. Sharon spoke to the press just before leaving the United States, cutting short a diplomatic visit. Signaling that the Israeli invasion into Palestinian areas would continue, Sharon said: “He who rises up to kill us, we will rise up and kill him first.”
